A CARE home in Selby has been rated number one in Yorkshire and The Humber.

Temple Manor care home came first out 1,617 homes in the region in terms of online recommendations from residents, and their friends and relatives, in an award scheme organised by online directory and industry website carehome.co.uk

Director of carehome.co.uk Davina Ludlow said: “We felt the best people to rate a care home were the people who really know its ins and outs, its residents and their families.

“Temple Manor care home has proved that it provides a great service and we’d like to congratulate them on being the top recommended home in Yorkshire and The Humber. It’s a brilliant achievement to be recognised for your hard work, but particularly from the people who you work hard for.

“The care home will be recognised on our website as a top rated home and will receive a certificate from us.”

Director of Temple Manor, John Reader, said: “Winning a carehome.co.uk award means a lot to me and my team.

“We have all come a long way since we opened in November 2011.

“My team deserves the award for the high standard, person-centered care they deliver every working day at Temple Manor Care Home.”
